Mother’s Day Luxury Love List

From the grazed knees and night-time monsters of childhood, to the challenges of first-time motherhood or other momentous life achievements, mums are always there to love, guide, support and encourage. And for those of us fortunate enough to navigate life with our mum by our side, Mother’s Day is an opportunity to show just how much we appreciate their everyday contributions, large and small.

Knowing how difficult it can be to find a gift that encapsulates such special love and gratitude, the Mia Fratino team has rounded up some of our favourite gift ideas, for every mum: from glamourous fashionistas and musical mamas, to indulgent individuals and avid readers. Because every mum is entitled to their idea of luxury.

Read

Mom & Me & Mom by literary treasure and activist Maya Angelou couldn’t be any more qualified as Mother’s Day reading. Exploring the emotionally complex relationship that Angelou shared with her mother, this book traces the evolution of their bond and the healing and reconciliation that occurred along the way.

But if you think mum would appreciate something a little more easy-going, the brief, sweetly vulnerable affirmations found in the poetry of Rupi Kaur or Nayyirah Waheed might be just the thing.

Hear

If you’re confident that you know mum’s musical taste, tickets to upcoming performances, theatre or even festivals make for a memorable experience gift. Throughout the year, blues festivals play right across the country from Bendigo to Bridgetown, and laid-back festivals like A Day on the Green are always an easy pleaser. But if mum’s musical tastes run toward the quirky or unpredictable, maybe a gift voucher for Ticketek might be best. That way, she can book for whatever whim may take her fancy – from a Def Leppard stadium show to Carol King the Musical.
